Sorry for be ignorance , but in which songs or albums king tubby sing? or he dont sing ?

peace and love

He makes buttons sing.

buttons sing?

I know there are some songs where he can be heard. I think it might have been with the deejay Karl Walker. Don't remember exactly now.

... but I've never heard him as a vocalist.

Apparently Scientist does some vocals on Meets The Space Invaders. Is this on the track Cloning Process? Because if so, he could easily have been a vocalist, that tracks brilliant!

I guessed that he sing in some songs , another question in his song "Blessed Dub" who sing?

bless and thanks for all the information

P-&-L

I would like to hear what tracks you can hear tubby on? Have always wanted to hear his voice..

you can hear King Tubby's voice at the beginning of the Tubby's dubplate version of Jacob Miller's "False Rasta" (totally different version of the tune, on the 'ain't no sunshine' riddim). this tune was found on a tape "rescued" from Tubby's studio a few years ago. it was released on Thompson Sound 7" (crappy pressing) and it's also on the "Don't Give Up Your Culture" compilation on Moll-Selekta (though i think for dubious legal reasons, it's mis-credited in the liner notes, along with most of the other tracks, as a Blackbeard production).

Tubby says something like "ey Jacob, throw it down Drumilie Avenue...mash it up now", before Jacob starts singing. it's pretty cool.

I've never known Tubby's to sing a note whatsoever, but you'll hear him on false starts of many-a-dubplates as well as false starts on jamaican pressed records mixed at his studio.
